No problem. This is our way of connecting to the islands.
I came across the family pandan from this http://archive.fieldmuseum.org/vanishing... courtesy of the Field Museum while preparing a blog entry (on Philippine forest mice). Your leaf is familiar but the flower isn't. So I just start from there.
By the way, the website is about the rainforest of the Philippines. It is a good read but it seriously needs updating.
You're right alice and nath. Thanks a lot. This is has long been an ID mystery. Great to finally have it solved. I know you'll try your hardest to ID all my unknown Philippines spottings. Thanks again!
Let me guess. It's a climbing pandan (Freycinetia multiflora).
I don't its think Dendrobium, its not an orchid. My closest guess was maybe a species of Costa, but not sure. Thanks for your hardwork and dedication to researching and ID'ing others spottings.
Also check in Dendrobium
Murdannia also similar with leafs but flower is quite different.
Actually I thought its similar to Trias stocksii, but its different type of plant..
Thanks Ashish, but I can't find any images of Trias. Have any leads on pics?
May be Trias
Hi Dandoucette, I think you placed your marker at the wrong place.
